He had a hard practice today as well. Its possible we could see him on Wednesday

Yupp. He was given his own net while Taylor and MacDonald shared one, which is great news.

Also Backs has supposedly been practicing hard, should be getting the yellow jersey off any day now.

The practice started with 3 goalies and now there are just 2. Danny Taylor is no longer on the ice #Flames Kiprusoff may be ready

Looks like the wait is finally over (or damn close). I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor gets assigned to Abby pretty soon.

Will be nice to get Kipper and Backlund back. Just not sure what the plan will be for the forwards, I think the czechs look great with Iggy and would leave that line in tact, just hope Baertschi isn't pushed down by Backs' return, seems like the points are going to start rolling for Sven soon.

Kipper is starting tonight:

@Fan960Steinberg:
Hartley confirms Kiprusoff starting for the #Flames

Great News!

 

[DCDM]

Welcome back, Kipper!

 

[Janks]

Woohoo kipper!

 

[Predarat]

If they send Taylor to Abbotsford, are they going to send Irving or Brust to the ECHL?

Glad Kipper is back and the Oilers boards are the epitome of class

Kipper back tonight ... hope he tears his MCL.

Meh, just read through this and laugh.

They're not just realizing they have bad management now?

Apparently, yes. Funnier still, there are some fans there, albeit fewer and fewer, who still believe Tambellini or the management in general isn't part of the problem.

Backlund has took off the no-contact jersey. Looks like he's almost ready:

@vickihallch:

Mikael Backlund wearing red at skate. That much closer to return....

Sven Baertschi a healthy scratch, though RogMillions speculates he might be shaken up after his hit from Douglas Murray. If thats the case then sit him out. If it is specifically a performance issue send him down already.

Any Matt Stajan injury news??
